Problem:They don't have to. If you have a divorce decree that gives you rights to claim a dependant (sometimes annually or every other year, or not at all) then the custodial parent must honor that. In fact you can file with the deduction by providing copies of the signature page and the tax portion of the decree. If you do not have a divorce decree stating you have rights to claim....you have NO right to claim without the permission of the custodial parent who will have to provide form 8332.\n\n*** I'll qualify that, by saying the other person has legal custody, that is an indication that the child lived with the custodial parent as well for half or more of the year and that that parent paid for at least half of the support of said child...or that the parent has sole custody of the child....That all being true...you cannot claim the child without permission of the custodial parent. Check out the 2nd link for all the rules regarding dependants.
